It seems the troubled rock star singer is back on drugs.
Last week in Serbia Belgrade she tried to perform on stage but was so wasted that the crowd booed and heckled her.
A fellow band mate had to remind her what song she was singing and ultimately had to sing it for her as a spaced out Winehouse looked around in confusion.
The video below shows a stumbling Winehouse stopping, and then restarting her show and arguing with her band.
Embarrassing to say the least.
You can tell she is wasted and can’t understand a single word she is mumbling.
By the way, Amy’s handlers are trying to get all the Belgrade videos removed from the internet so there is a chance the above clip will become unavailable.
Earlier this month her reps say Amy checked into rehab at the Priory Clinic but checked out after staying only seven days. You know, the “Charlie Sheen” rehab method.
After news of her disastrous drug fueled performance in Belgrade got out, her team quickly pulled the plug on two of her upcoming European shows saying,
“Amy Winehouse has canceled appearances in Istanbul and Athens for the coming week. Despite feeling sure that she wanted to fulfill these commitments, she has agreed with management that she cannot perform to the best of her ability and will return home. She would like to apologize to fans expecting to see her at the shows but feels that this is the right thing to do.”
After returning home the news got even worse.
Apparently her “Management Team” felt the singer was unfit to perform any more and cancelled the 11 remaining shows of her European tour saying,
“Amy is withdrawing from all scheduled performances while she focuses on recovering. Everyone involved wishes to do everything they can to help her return to her best and she will be given as long as it takes for this to happen,"
While no reason was given for the cancellations, it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out why.
So I was listening to Steinski's appearance on WFMU'sCoffee Break For Heroes and Villains from a few years ago the other day and was blown away by how much good stuff was on there that I hadn't heard prior, so I hunted down some of those tracks and made a quick mix with some other goodies I've been listening to. There is some good stuff here so I wanted to share the wealth. You can check out the original program here, and trust me, it's worth the three hours of your time! THANKS CRAIG!!! Enjoy and have a good weekend!
01 Amy Winehouse - Monkey Man Amy's cover of Toots & The Maytals. This is so good! I wish she'd get herself straight and record another album. Back To Black was so good! Of course, there is always Sharon Jones, but still, it would be nice to see Amy back in action.
02 Tony! Toni! Toné! - Feels Good (Ben Liebrand House Mix) Cheesy and dated, but still kinda fun. Got this on the b-side of a cassette single back in the day for a really lame Christmas record. I'll post said lame Christmas record eventually for laughs, but it really is awful.
03 Mary J. Blige - Be Without You (A. Brucker & Sinden Remix) Did this get an official release? I can't find it anywhere for purchase. This is an incredible remix that flips the sorrowful mood of the original and makes it intense and driven.
04 Funk Factory - Rien Ne Va Plus The main sample source for the Beastie'sCar Thief. Excellent!
05 Interpol - Evil (Steinski Remix) This was played on the aforementioned show with Steinski and is probably the only place this has ever been played as it remains unreleased. Not classic Steinski by any means but good and worth having.
06 Robbie B & Jazzy Jay - Rock The Go Go (Original Version) This was also played on the aforementioned show with Steinski. There was a reissue of this track in remixed form on Schooly D's label back in the day, but I've never heard that version. This, the original version released, is pretty damn great so I have no idea what could have been added. Eventually I'll get around to checking that Schooly D remix out.
07 Jamie Lidell - Big Drift (Krikor 1982 Remix) This was recently given away by Jamie via e-mail. Apparently he's giving away a total of five remixes of tracks from his last album, Compass. The first one, a remix by Beck of Completely Exposed, is surprisingly weak, though Krikor's remix of Big Drift is rather great! You should definitely sign-up for those remixes, all of which are free and will only cost you an e-mail address. You can do so via the widget below.
08 Fantasy Three - It's Your Rock (Instrumental) Another track I first heard on Coffee Break with Steinski, this dates back to 1983 and was produced by Master OC. It kinda sounds dated but it also sounds like it's still from the future, and that is simply awesome!
09 Nine Inch Nails - The Perfect Drug (Aphrodite) This was issued as a promo-only remix on a triple vinyl promotional edition of the Perfect Drug remixes. I've only got two of the 12"s so my dream of compiling an un-segued version of that release is on hold, but this is from the one that really counts. As the title suggests, this remix is by jungle-aficionado, Aphrodite. It's pretty good, but it's also clear why this is the one that didn't make the CD.
10 Coldcut - More Beats + Pieces (DJ Lord Fader Turntable Mix) This also got played on the show with Steinski, though I'd heard this before as it appears on Coldcut'sLet Us Replay album/comp. Incredible scratch and cut-up remix!
11 Lightnin' Rod - Doriella Du Fontaine (feat. Jimi Hendrix & Buddy Miles) Once again, this was played on the show with Steinski. I may have to post Lightnin' Rod'sHustler's Convention eventually, though I have to make sure it's out of print first. That said, I'll have to find out what led to this rather incredible collaboration! As you can probably guess, Jimi and Buddy handle the music while Rod tells the tale.
12 J. Rocc - Chasing The Sun (Remix) This remix appears on one of the Mystery Discs that are included with copies of J. Rocc'sSome Cold Rock Stuf. If you haven't got a copy yet, WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU??? One of the best albums of the year!
13 The Ink Spots - If I Didn't Care My reference point for this is the original trailer for Blade Runner, as it was supposed to appear in the film but was dropped due to licensing issues. Classic.
14 Wall Of Voodoo - There's Nothing On This Side Taken from the flipside of the 12" for Wall Of Voodoo'sMexican Radio, this is a noise/tape/weirdness experiment that I don't believe ever appeared on one of their records. Strange as hell and totally not essential, but I love it anyways. I got this as a kid and always wondered, are they saying there is nothing on this side of the record, or nothing on this side of existence? A sign my brain was already tormented. My mother HATED the cover of this single, with a bunch of doll heads stuck on poles like voodoo dolls. If she had it her way, I'd only listen to Bruce Springsteen. No offense mom, but I know the music I listened to freaked you out back in the day.
